Due to the sheer volume of power-ups in Vampire Survivors, many newbies often tend to disregard or overlook powers that may not appeal to them. As a result, they may lose valuable skills that could have elevated their character build to new heights. So, if you are a beginner trying to learn the capacity of various abilities/weapon items in Vampire Survivors, study our carefully arranged tier list below.

All Weapons and Abilities in Vampires Survivors - ranked

*All the items within a tier are not arranged in any particular order.

Best Weapons and Abilities for Beginners

While the following abilities are lethal for earlier stages, we recommend evolving them to get the maximum out of them.

Santa Water

  • Santa Water is one of the best AOE-type skills in the game. It can auto-lock onto any pool of enemies in front of your character and cause severe damage by spraying holy water.

Holy Bible

  • Holy Bible is one of those defensive abilities that must be in your build, irrespective of your character. It may look a tad weak during the early game. But will benefit you greatly in the mid to late-game scenarios.

Runetracer

  • Runetracer is a lethal weapon in the hand of any character like Mortaccio or Pasqualina that has perks for projectile-based abilities. It is best used in closed maps like Inlaid Library or Diary Plant, where you can inflict maximum damage by bouncing the ability from walls.

Best Weapons and Abilities for Leaderboards 

Crimson Shroud

  • Crimson Shroud is one of the abilities everyone should feature in their build if they are trying to reach the elite list. It blocks all incoming damage at ten and scales with the Curse power up.

Infinite Corridor

  • While the Lancet may be a D-tier weapon, its evolved form of Infinite Corridor is a different beast altogether. It literally halves the health of any enemies in front of you and helps you clear waves much faster.
